official sites:

The Debian project provides a git server ("Alioth") with anonymous
(read-only) and developer (read-write) access to the development
(unstable) tree of the SANE sources. See our git
page for more information.

There are also daily git snapshots that may
contain fixes or new features that are not in the latest release yet.
Keep in mind that these are development versions. They aren't tested at
all.

Binaries

Here are pointers to some binary distributions of SANE. The binaries
aren't made by the SANE project itsself but by distributors or
volunteers. If you want to add something to this list, just file a bug
report at our bug tracking system and add
a pointer to the relevant binary. After review we'll add
the link to this section.

Linux

Most Linux distributions package SANE with modifications required to support their authentication or permissions systems. We recommend you use the vendor's packages. If you need a more updated version of SANE, be prepared to build from source, and ask on a distro-specific forum for advice.
